Copycat Starbucks Keto Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Today I’m sharing a keto friendly copycat Starbucks pumpkin cream cheese muffin recipe.
Since going back to school things have been a little busy and I have to confess that a couple of days a week I’ve been giving in to my after school Starbucks craving. I love me a grande Americano with cream and it helps me sail through the rest of the afternoon and evening with all kinds of energy that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. When I pulled up to the drive through the other day I knew that fall had officially arrived because I noticed they were advertising their amazing pumpkin cream cheese muffins. SO. GOOD.
But, if you’ve been following for awhile, then you might know that my husband and I have been following a low-carb keto-style diet since last February. We really love it, but recently have become a little tired of our tried and true meal ideas and I’ve started experimenting with more keto-friendly baking. These pumpkin cream cheese muffins are honestly so delicious that you will think that you ordered them right from the Starbucks drive through window. Pair them with your morning or afternoon coffee or tea and you’ve got a perfect mini-meal or snack!
Starbucks Copycat Keto Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- .5 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

- 1/2 cup Sugar free almond milk
- 2 tbsp whipping cream
- 2-4 tbsp pumpkin seeds, roasted (salted is okay)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake tray with liners and spray them with cooking spray to help the muffin batter not adhere to them during baking.
Muffin Batter
-
Add the flours, pumpkin pie spice, granulated sugar free sweetener, and baking soda in a bowl and stir to combine.
-
Stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla, eggs, melted butter and almond millk. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the it becomes a thick batter.
-
Add about 1/4 cup rounded of batter to each of the 12 muffin cups. Press down in the center with a large spoon or the rounded end of a pestle to create a hollow depression for the cream cheese mixture.
Cream Cheese Filling
-
Mix the cream cheese, sugar-free icing sugar, and whipping cream with a hand mixer or mix-master until thoroughly blended and smooth.
-
Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly between the muffins.
-
Top with the pumpkins seeds and bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
We love these keto friendly muffins and will definitely be making them regularly this fall – I hope you love them as much as we do!

Hello! Love this recipe flavor, but I’m wondering if the recipe should state 2 eggs? It states “1 eggs” (plural) in the list of ingredients, and in the instructions it refers to adding “eggs” plural, once again. They were pretty gooey. Almost like eating muffin dough! Thanks for the recipe!
My boyfriend loved them! He hates anything with almond flour but this changed his mind. So glad to find something he liked.
The almond milk (1/2 c ) is listed in the ingredients for the filling.. is this in the wrong place.Thank you for a delicious recipe!
I would love to know the carb and fiber info on these.
Do you provide this info on your receipes?
The print version doesn’t reflect the almond milk correction. The Ketotwins made these without it and it looked like they turned out great. Looking for the carb and calorie count of each muffin. Have you calculated that info?
Recipe called for 1/2 cup almond milk but the recipe instruction never called for the almond milk. Can you let me know how to correct? I didn’t use the almond milk and it seemed to be really dry.
Thanks for noticing and sorry about that – I added almond milk when I mixed in the rest of the “wet” ingredients.
looks delicious
You totally had me with keto pumpkin cream cheese!! These muffins sound delicious, Krista!!

I can’t wait to make these, Krista! They look even better than the originals. pinned 🙂
